We love it here!

Stay was absolutely wonderful! Great welcome from Aurora, spacious room, beautiful furnishings. The hotel held our luggage after check out while we walked around Ravenna and called a taxi for us to the port when we were done. We loved visiting Ravenna and all the charming pedestrian streets. Would love to return and would absolutely stay at Santa Maria Foris again.

The hotel is located in a fairly central position, which makes it ideal to explore the city centre and/or go out for dinner in the evening. The main street is a few minutes away by foot. Conversely, parking is slightly trickier. The hotel relies on a local secured parking lot (around 5 minutes away by foot) costing around 5 EUR a day. And while having free parking would be the icing on the cake, unfortunately Ravenna is a dedalus of one-way streets, so this is fully understandable. Our room was big enough and nicely furnished. The hotel itself is very welcoming and beautiful. The only downside were the loud voices coming from the reception, though perhaps we were just unlucky as to where our room was.

We really liked the property. Your staff Hillary really made our trip outstanding- her smile and willingness to go over and above to help us in every way was exceptional. She helped us book our shuttle to the cruise port, told us about all the places to see and do and even printed some paperwork for us.
